Help with 19 month old schedule?

What are your alls 19 month old schedules? Thinking g we need to increase wake window, probably been much needed for A WHILE as he’s been fighting sleep for about an hour or so every night for a month or two ( idk why I didn’t think to increase wake windows sooner lol)

Typically he wakes up 9/10am with a nap 2/3pm - 4/5:30 and bedtime around 9-10:30. His first wake window is 5hrs and he goes down fine for a nap but it’s the wake window between nap and bed I think we need to increase. If we go down for bed at 9 for example he usually doesn’t go to sleep until 10 or so.
I still nurse to sleep and usually after we do pjs, and brush teeth we will read a book then I’ll nurse him in his bed. He’ll nurse for a while like he’s about to go to sleep then gets up and runs around the room for a bit before laying back down to either nurse to sleep or I will cuddle him and sing him to sleep ( also could this be a sign he’s wanting to wean ). He’s has fallen asleep with me cuddling him and singing for a few times now but he will still nurse initially. I’m hoping to nurse until 2 then switch to a toddler bed and try to wean him. Help 😂idk what I’m doing lol

My 19 month old is up at 7am, nap from noonish til 2, and then bed by 8:30

Yours seems pretty comparable in spacing. If his nap goes till 5:30 he might not be tired until 10:30

@Madison my little one is the same!! Up by 9/10, naps around 2-4 and then gets tired around 9, but won't actually fall asleep until 11 or later sometimes! She gets this random wind of energy around 1030 and does the same. Runs arouns and looks far off from tired 🤣 even though I nurse and cuddle her! She does the same where she looks like shss about to crash, and then gets up. Even with a shorter nap, she gets this random boost of energy 🙃

I have a slightly similar schedule to Anna! My little one is up by 7, sometimes 6:30 😩 naps from 12:30-3/3:30 and in bed by 7:30/8. Your little one’s schedule makes sense because of his later wake and bed time!

My daughter wakes up at 7 -8 am, naps at 12:30-3 pm. Then Bed Time at 8pm

At our school where I work( which my 19 month daughter also follows)
She wake 6:00 and likes food pretty fast.
I start at 8.

9am snack.
Nap 12-3. Give or take.
Snack at 3-3:30.
I pick up 5.
Dinner 6:30-7.
Bed time routine.

We are transitioning off nursing at night since I am 20 weeks pregnant.
Started offering warm cows milk than some nursing (cutting time off more and more).
Seems like the nursing might be giving your boy more energy rather than relaxing. Maybe offer some milk in a cup instead?

I wouldn’t worry so much about the wake window and just try to do what feels good. Every day is different. I stressed myself out more trying to determine the times or her wake windows after 1 year.

yes if he naps till 5:30 it’s usually a 10:30 bedtime but he still won’t go to sleep for another hour or so

haha that little burst of energy is so frustrating at times 😂 but gotta love them lol

he gets pissed of if he doesn’t nurse haha 😆
I’m not really stressing the wake windows just do t want him staying up too long and getting overtired. He did better last night with a longer wake window.
I did mess up today and let his have a 3 hr nap almost so he’ll definitely need a longer wake windows

My 19 month old wakes up around 9 , I try to put him down by 12:30, 1 at the latest) for a nap and let him sleep for 2 hours. I like to have him in bed at 9 and he falls asleep by 9:30 on a good day, 10 at the latest.

yea for us a 3-4 hr wake window isn’t long enough

what time does she go to sleep or do you try to start bedtime?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
